Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie:

You might want to curl up in the pantry with the entire dish of this old fashioned dessert and keep it all to yourself it’s so good. The cheesecake layer in the bottom will have you drooling. Seriously.

The crust is my favorite part of the pie. Make a delicious crumbly one from scratch or buy your favorite pre-made refrigerated pie crust from the supermarket.

Instead of a traditional pie crust, you could also use a graham cracker crust. Other options would be topping it with dark or white chocolate shavings or a chocolate drizzle.

How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

Making this simple cream cheese pie recipe starts with the crust. As we mentioned earlier, you can have a base made from scratch or you can use a pre-made refrigerated pie crust dough.

Roll out the crust and press the dough sheet into a deep dish pie pan. Poke holes on the bottom and side of the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles while baking.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and bake the crust for 7 to 9 minutes. Once you take it of the oven, let the crust cool.

As the freshly baked crust chills, grab a medium mixing bowl. Whip the heavy cream in this bowl. You’ll know when the whipped cream is done when it can form stiff peaks.

Add in the cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar, and whip some more until it is a fluffy and smooth consistency.

To make the glaze, take a saucepan and put in the strawberry jelly, lemon juice, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture into a slow simmer and make sure to stir it continuously.

Once the mixture is properly combined, remove from the head and let it cool. This gloss will provide the perfect glossy look to your fruit pie.

Check that the pie crust is completely cooled, or else the consistency of your filling will be off. Then, fill it with the whip cream cheese filling. Top with whole, hulled fresh strawberries. Once the glaze is cooled to room temperature, coat the glaze over the strawberries completely.

Let the pie chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour before serving.
